Meanwhile Logan is trying to cope with Camille having a date to the prom that's not him and jealously overtakes him as he tries to prevent them from becoming prom King and Queen. In the process of helping James get a date so he will for sure win prom king with Aubrey Stewart (Parody of Kristen Stewart) from "The Vampire Stories Chronicles Saga Trilogy," they go to her house and Logan, in a disguise knocks on the door and 3 security guards come out of the door. James pushes him into them as the guards beat on Logan.
Aubrey walks through the door as James checks her out & asks her to prom, she says yes. Katie gets Carlos a corsage, James takes a corsage to Aubrey but the guards ruin it. Kendall sneaks Jo out of the house but at the prom, she's a little paranoid because in this episode we find out her dad is an agent, which Jo is not allowed to talk about. To ensure that she is still in her room, they use Buddha Bob to pretend he's Jo. However, he ends up breaking character and Jo's dad goes to the prom to find Jo. Carlos is un-attracted to Jennifer after she's a little different than she is with the other Jennifers, so he breaks up with her making her cry and as a result, they all run after him. Meanwhile James makes Aubrey cry, confessing he only brought her, so he would win Prom King. The guards run after him & he hides in the bathroom while Logan finds Camille and asks her for a favor.
